As a graphic designer and writer I wanted to combine history with a fun graphical style. Now I present a gift to children who have a curiosity about the world around them and its rich past, in the form of my series 'Simple History'.

It was short and concise defining the main points of the space race between USA and USSR. The short quiz at the end helped reinforce what you read in the book. I liked the book.

I wish children’s textbooks looked and read like the Simple History: The Space Race. Full of bright, colorful illustrations and relevant text that is easy to digest, this book makes learning easy and fun. Each page clearly documents the important milestones of the space race—starting with the V2 rocket and ending with the first moon walk, while touching on (without getting bogged down by) cold war politics. It contains a glossary of common terms and also includes a few quizzes which check for and clarify understanding of all topics. This is a fantastic book for young learners who are interested in how the space race started and evolved.
